Additionally, for those who may not have picked up the game before, Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate is commemorating its announcement with a special sale. PBBGU will go on sale for the first time across all digital storefronts, making it the perfect time to jump into the action before the new DLC arrives.
Who is Kaho Shibuya in PBBGU?
Meet Kaho, a baker by day and a magical girl by destiny, who serves up bread-fueled justice with a freshly-baked, chaotic moveset. Expect to unleash baguette blasts and croissant combos as she rolls and rises through enemies. Kaho Shibuya herself expresses her excitement in a release to press:
“My favorite game genre has always been 2D side-scrolling Beat ’em Ups, so to be in such a game as a menacingly strong DLC character is a dream come true. This playable Kaho is an amalgamation of a magical girl and a baker, prismatic and sweet.
Regarding the former, of course it’s every girl’s fantasy, especially when you grew up watching anime like Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, and Madoka Magica. For the latter, I wanted a unique weapon to stand out, and thought of a baguette as a weapon first, inspired from some of my favorite games. This character is from all my nerdy thoughts, and I hope you enjoy beating up enemies with it.”
